Lions April 2012

Meatball

The lions have had a lot of visitors recently, keeping them entertained in their enclosure. The other day our wild horses came to visit Meatball and Gobbolina and had a little nose around. We have 10 horses which roam freely around our reserve and they usually have their particular hang out places - none of which are normally next to the lion camp! 

Naankuse Lion update - January 2012

All during December, Gobbelina has been in heat, so Meatball and her have been offering visitors quite a show whenever anyone comes close to their camp. They have also started to be more active at night, and their roars can be heard all through the night, keeping more than one of us awake... 

Luckily all our female carnivores receive implants which prevents them from getting pregnant, as by Namibian law it is prohibited to breed in captivity.
